Ideas for the age of Super Intelligence
AFA publishes to make difficult decisions easier: how human judgment changes as computational capability grows, and what that means for AI governance, sovereignty, institutional knowledge, robotics, education, infrastructure and creative work.
New essay
The Intelligence Was Never Artificial.
Why AFA is adopting Super Intelligence as a human-centred frame—and why AI remains the right technical vocabulary for models, agents, regulation, standards and procurement.
The intelligence is not artificial.
The amplification is computational.
The capability becomes super.
The responsibility remains human.

AFA terminology
Super Intelligence is the frame. AI remains the technical vocabulary.
Super Intelligence is AFA’s human-centred description of intelligence extended beyond the practical limits of unaided cognition through computation, accumulated knowledge, models, machines and other instruments of intelligence.
We continue to use artificial intelligence (AI) for models, APIs, standards, regulations, procurement categories, vendor products and established search language. The transition is additive, not a denial of the technical field.
Two words matter: AFA’s Super Intelligence is not the same claim as the established one-word term superintelligence, commonly used for an intelligence exceeding human intelligence.

Publish less. Make every resource useful.
AFA’s Insights library is intended to explain questions we believe customers and institutions genuinely need to understand. Service pages explain what AFA does; Insights should explain how to think.
